King Sombra's Harem Conquest

The next morning, Fluttershy felt a very pleasant sensation in her nether region when she was woken by a stray sun beam coing through the window. "Five more minutes..." She mumbled, still enjoying the warmth of the bed and that sensation. Then, she realized what she was feeling underneath the sheets! She tore her eyes open and sat up before rapidly pulling the bedsheets away!

From between Shy's legs, a chipper looking Radiant Hope greeted her: "Good morning, sleepy head!" Streaks of white were on her muzzle. "You still had some of Sombra's cum inside of you and I just couldn't let it go to waste!"After a momeant, her expression turned cheeky... "I think you should try some..."

Before Fluttershy could say anything, Radiant's tongue licked over her folds, then dove deep into them! The pegasus' moans filled the room again, and she let out a disappointed whine when the tongue disappeared again. Despite the night prior, that disappointmeant still felt weird for her...

She was catching her breath still when Radiant almost jumped up to her and pressed her lips against hers! She tasted Sombra's cum, Radiant's saliva and her own pussy juices... And had to admit: it was delightful!

"Sombra had to get up early to go and inspect one of the army bases," Radiant explained to Fluttershy after a few minutes of relaxing cuddling.

Right. The whole war was still going on... Every time the pegasus remembered, she felt a of guilt and regret. Guilt at her being a captive in a gilded cage and yet, she was liking it! She wasn't even thinking about the cruelty that was happening, the ponies that suffered at Sombra's iron grasp... And she was here, in bed with his wife and cuddling! After having been his willing bed fellow the night before! But then, when you got to know him a little... he wasn't a total monster either! There was a turmoil inside of her...

Her contemplations were interrupted when Radiant rang a little bell and a few momeants later, two mares entered the bed room. "Honeysparkle? Golden Hooves? We will have breakfast in bed tonight." She told them.

Fluttershy saw the traces of Sombra's magic around their eyes. Hints of purple and green... But on their faces was nothing but happy devotion as they disappeared again.

They reappeared twenty minutes later, carrying trays with food: Apples, grapes, pears, cereals, fresh bread rolls, butter, cucumbers, coffee, milk, water, juices, pancakes, honey, jams, syrup... More than enough for a good start into the day!

It was delicious! And, to her own surprise, Fluttershy ate like somepony who was starving! She hadn't realized how much energy last night had taken out of her. All of this food was doing wonders!

Once most of the food had been devoured, and again with that sly smile on her face, Radiant put a grape between her lips... and kissed Fluttershy, feeding it to her! "What-..!?"

"Sorry. I couldn't resist!" The unicorn chuckled before repeating what she just did! "You are just so much fun to tease, and kiss!" As she said this, she ran her index finger over Shy's mouth. "I told you last night: I will show you how to satisfy my husband's desires! And we will start today!" From below the bed, she pulled out a little box.

And the contents made Fluttershy blush: Dildos, a strap-on, vibrators and butt plugs. Radiant eyed the butt plugs, adding that, "Believe me. You wouldn't want to take his cock up your ass without preparation."

"In my... my... But... It's dirty!"

"Nothing a little magic won't solve. And it will feel good!" Radiant patiently explained. "We could start with some blowjob or titjob basics with the dildo, but I have another idea... To ease you in, we'll start with you eating out my pussy, to train your tongue's dexterity!" If she was being honest, Radiant just wanted Fluttershy to eat her out.

It was very obvious that Fluttershy hadn't had any experience, but at the same time, she also wasn't the worst amateur Radiant had experienced. She was certainly material one could work with...

Over the next few weeks, Radiant educated Fluttershy, and whenever Sombra was available, had her proof her progress to him. The pegasus, for her part, began to grow bolder, her first night with the king having flamed a fire she hadn't known about! At first, she was just an ancillary to Radiant, letting the unicorn queen guide her, but after a while, she began to flirt with ponies she considered attractive, the first time it happened, it really surprised Fluttershy when she had noticed what she had done!

Shy began to experimeant not only with guards and other staff, but also with Twilight Sparkle and Barb, who, as Radiant had told her, did show that both of them had a softer, nicer, more likeable side. She had also tangled with Starlight and Sugar Belle a few times... Starlight and Twilight had, in one of their experimeants, concocted something that had caused Twilight to, temporarly, grow a dick and she had used that on Fluttershy...

A handful of times, Fluttershy had even gone so far to move short distances with her upper body uncovered! It was always embarassing, but also... thrilling! And everypony she encountered had been very appreciative of the view! And the feeling of having them bounce unhindered at every step, it was an experience.

And from all she heard, the 'training' was paying off. Radiant and Sombra both told her that she had improved a lot, and her other partners praised how good she had become! But, for her own part, whenever she went for a few days without sex now, she began to feel antsy.... Needy... And only Sombra himself was able to subdue this fire completely! Other stallions, like Flash, were able to take the edge off for a bit, but they just didn't compare!

It was now probably in the third or fourth month of her captivity and Fluttershy had truly stopped feeling like a captive. She had befriended Barb, Twilight and the others and had many pleasurable nights with Sombra and Radiant! The ponies in the capital seemed all nice enough... She had almost completely forgotten about the war raging on! Yes, it was there in the back of her head, somewhere, but... it felt distant. Unimportant. A minor nuisance.

Until, one day, she stood on the top of the castle, just enjoying the breeze on a sunny day and the view of the rolling grasslands and fields, and the beginnings of the forest Radiant had began to plant for Fluttershy. But then, she noticed a long column nearing the outskirts of the city. Fluttershy was curious and took the binoculars she had taken with her in the hopes of, maybe, spotting a few birds to watch, and took a closer look.

They were still too far away to make out much, but it seemed like it was a column of prisoners! Suddenly, the weight of the world came crashing down on her again! And... she just had to see what would happen to them... When she had asked Radiant or Sombra about what happened to prisoners of war, they had always avoided the topic....

After a few minutes, Fluttershy landed behind a building the prisoners were being lead to. All the windows on the ground floor, however, had been blocked. The ones on the second floor on the other hand... Again she took flight, and now she could see what was happening.

What she saw... It shouldn't have been a surprise for Fluttershy. She had known that this was happening! But, after all she had experienced with Radiant, Sombra and the others... Maybe she had just put up meantal walls to isolate herself from this? Not wanting to believe it any longer? Just wanting to have a happy and peaceful life like before Sombra's return? Had Radiant, maybe, not been quite honest to her?

Inside the building, lines of equestrian guards got King Sombra's mind-control helmets put onto their heads. The dark, controlling magic for a momeant illuminating the insides as they were being put under his control. Momeants later, the pony that had just received the helmet, like an automaton, moved to get the rest of his, or her, new armor...

Radiant had told her that this was only temporary, and that they'd regain their personality after a while... but was that really the case? The doubts, the feeling of betrayal, gnawed on Fluttershy.

The suspicious and defiant part of her that had never been completely silenced by her benevolent treatmeant was stirring up again! The part that had reared itself every time when she remembered that the fighting was going on! What else should she have expected? They had been upfront about it, and it was known in Equestria! The only one to blame for her ignorance was Fluttershy herself who had cozied up with the King and Queen!

Fluttershy was disgusted with herself now and, worried that she might get spotted, hurried back to the castle. On the way, she made her decision: She would flee! Flee and return to Equestria and do her best to help Princess Celestia to bring the war to a good end! She knew the city well enough and the castle even better! Maybe she could give valuable intel to her? Maybe even get a hold of some of Sombra's plans?

Over the next few days, the pegasus was trying her best not to let anything show, but secretely, she was gathering supplies and warm, sturdy clothes for the journey! It was warm now, but she had no idea how the weather would turn out during it. She knew the rough direction, but not the proper way, and only knew that it would be a long time to travel. Many days at best, weeks or months at the worst. Especially since she would walk most of the distance! She had never been the fastest or most enduring flier, and there weren't many pegasi in these lands from what Radiant Hope had told her. Flying a lot would be suspicions, while a lone pony travelling would be far more easily dismissed.

One late evening, while looking for possible valuable informations, she happened to stumble over a large map, showing the current frontlines. She couldn't take it with her, but it helped to give her an idea how to travel. She also found a few papers with potential offensive and defensive measures and tried to keep as much of that in her mind as she could.

One week later, on a clouded, new moon night, she made her escape. Standing on the roof of the castle, she removed the dress she'd been wearing and replaced it with clothes she had managed to pilfer when nopony was looking. They were fitting reasonably well and seemed sturdy enough for the journey: A pair of black boots from one of the guard rooms, a pair of jeans, a white tank top and a shirt with fatigue colors as well as as a warm jacket. On her back a large backpack carrying food and water for a few days, some tinder and a box of matches, a tarp and some poles to make a tent, a blanket and some additional, warm clothing. It had been a bit of a hassle to make everything fit with her wings, her shirt and hoodie had needed a few cuts, but it would make due.

When she had seen herself in a mirror, wearing all of this, Fluttershy hadn't been able supress a little amused smile: She looked like some sort of action survivor or resistance member from a TV show or something! Never had she thought she'd look like this!

And now, she took flight. The weight of the backpack was a hinderance, but she didn't need to fly very long. Just far enough to get a good head start for walking without leaving any easily followed tracks in the vicinity of the city!

Fifteen minutes later, she landed in the grass and began to march. Until she remembered one thing... She still wore the collar! And Radiant had told her about the enchantmeants on it... How it could lock her up, how it could alarm her and Sombra... Fluttershy's hands grabbed the collar, wondering how much work it would be to remove it, to keep it from holding her back... And, to her great surprise, with some pressure it simply snapped open! The only thing that had kept it around her neck this whole time had been her unwillingness to remove it... She let it drop into the grass and moved on.

Radiant Hope expected Sombra to be angry! Only because of her pleading had Fluttershy been allowed all these freedoms, and it had seemed like even he had liked her, started to trust her... And now this? Had she misjudged Fluttershy's character? Had they given her too much leeway too quickly? She looked at the collar in her right hand, her left on the railing, as her husband was staring at the horizon from the top of the castle.

But instead of being angry, the king of the Crystal Empire was calm and collected. And... was that a smirk on his face? "Don't worry about her, Radiant." He told her, putting his own hand over hers. "A good slave forges her own chains..."

"What do you mean by that, Sombra?" Radiant looked at him, confused and surprised! Whatever he meant, this did, however, also show that he still had issues seeing other ponies than her as more than enemies or servants...Despite her tempering influence, it showed that Sombra needed more... moral encouragemeant. Oh, Fluttershy... that was exactly why you should have been around...

"You will see... I have a very strong feeling that we haven't seen the last of her.

Radiant's hand slipped from her husband's grasp and brushed over her stomach. She would have liked to tell Fluttershy exciting news...

Fluttershy was now in the second week of tracking through the wilderness, avoiding any pony she could see. Every now and then, she flew a short distance to cut time and have a better overview over her surroundings. This was made easier, unfortunately, by her backpack having gotten a whole lot lighter.

So far, the weather had been relatively kind to her, only once had she been caught by rain, though that had been a rather nasty night. The tent had done a decent enough job, but until she had it set up... and without a fire... It hadn't been a nice night, but at least acceptable through gritted teeth. And, luckily, she could at least change the clothes.

Every now and then she happened to come across some field mice, bunnies or birds and some of those even had been nice enough to help her find some eadable roots and similar things ,as well as water, to stretch out her dwindling supplies.

After a few more days, she finally reached a change of scenery: a great forest. After days walking through the grasslands, it was a welcome sight. And the trees would help her hide from unwanted attention! She had seen a few patrols, or at least groups that she had assumed to be patrols, that might have been looking for her. And it would be nice to have some shade and protection from rain.

Additionally, in the forest she might have more luck in getting new supplies. The hunger, thirst and the generally dire situation aside, she had to admit that, with some friends, and preferably no war, this could have been a nice, even enjoyable, trip.

Picking up a sturdy branch as a walking stick, Fluttershy walked on. This time not quite alone: A few of the forest animals had decided to keep her company, at least for some time. But while the air in the forest was nice, fresh and cool, and when it rained the leaves of the trees did provide an appreciable amount of protection, the undergrowth was doing a number on Fluttershy's clothes, leaving her jacket torn in many places.

More time had passed during which Fluttershy trudged along, hoping to find equestrian civilization soon. By now, she had lost track of how many days had passed, but it must've been at least a month she'd been travelling. The weight of her body, diminshed by weeks of hardships and deprivations was supported by her walking stick as she forced herself to walk on. The pegasus broke through the next bush, the tatters of her jacket hanging off of her, scratches and small cuts from brushwork on her face and arms, leaves and little twigs had gotten caught in her mane and tail.

The next forest lay behind her, the next grassland before her as she dragged on... But, after a few minutes, she halted again! She had seen a group of ponies! And, if her eyes weren't deceiving her... They were wearing Equestrian Guard armor! She had made it! It She just had to have made it! "HELLO!!! OVER HERE!!!" She called out, her voice weak from exhaustion but still audible enough!

She saw how the guards' heads turned and did her best to rush towards them, saw, how they began to move in her direction! She had made it! She had really made it! Even as she had set out, she had had her doubts that she could do it... And yet, she did! But, finally, the exhaustion overcame her. Her legs gave way and she fell onto the hard ground, her staff clattering down next to her.

Fluttershy tried to force herself back onto her hooves, but she just wasn't able to. She felt how her consciousness was fading away... But, not knowing how much time had passed, she suddenly heard voices! She noticed how a shadow fell over her, blocking out the sun. "... you... -right?" It was a stallion's voice.

"Y..yes." Her voice was weak, but she managed to get that out.

The voices continued. "Let's turn her around! Give me a hand!"

"You push her up and I'll let her down gently! Alright, Soarin?"

"Yes. Ready, Spearhead?"

"Ready! On three!"

Fluttershy felt her body being turned over, and when she was on her back, wearily opened her eyes.

"Hey?" One of the stallions, a white pegasus, asked her. "Who are you?" Judging by the voice, that was Soarin.

Fluttershy could only groan. "She looks bad." A brown earth pony, probably Spearhead, added.

"Let me take a look!" A red pegasus mare now pushed herself in front of both of them. She gave Fluttershy a very quick and rough check. "She seems to be fine over all, but probably didn't have much, if any, good food, or proper rest, in a while. Exhaustion and overexertion as well, if I am any judge." She told the rest of the unit. Next to her and Soarin and Spearhead, there were also one unicorn and one more earth pony who's names hadn't been meantioned.

"Who are you?" She asked Fluttershy urgendly.

"F-Fl..." But Fluttershy ended in a tired groan instead of saying her name.

"Where were you going?" This was the voice of Spearhead.

"E... questria..."

A short pause. Soarin looked at her. "Where do you come from?"

The pink maned pegasus managed to press the answer out with the last of her strength: "Crystal... Empire..."

Soarin stared at his companions. Then, the last thing Fluttershy heard, was him shouting: "Get her to the base! Quick!" As she was being lifted up, she lost consciousness.

When Fluttershy woke up, she felt almost as well rested as back in the Crystal Empire, though her hooves were sore, he legs hurt from all the walking, and some of the scratches still stung a little. And she was hungry!

"Oh! You're awake! Very good!" A white mare in a nurse's uniform hurried over. "I am Nurse Redheart! I've been taking care of you while you were in the field hospital!"

"How... How long have I slept?"

"Two days straight! You must have been really tired." There was a slight amusemeant in Redheart's voice, but also a warm compassion. "I'll run a few tests and then call the princess! She wanted to be informed asap once you regained your consciousness!"

Thirty minutes later, Princess Celestia sat next to Fluttershy's bed. Redheart's checks had confirmed that, over all, Fluttershy was fine. She had lost weight during the her journey and was a bit dehydrated, but the infusions during her sleep had helped and would regain a more healthy weight after some time with regular, decently sized meals. Otherwise, she just needed more rest. Redheart would have liked to grant the pegasus that rest, but the Princess' inquiry tolerated no delay.

For a few minutes, Celestia just sat next to Fluttershy, looking her all over, and Fluttershy didn't dare to speak first. Finally, the ruler of Equestria began to speak: "You are that pegasus that pushed me out of the way of that magic blast during that ambush."

"My name is Fluttershy, Princess Celestia." Shy's reply was quiet, surprised that this powerful alicorn remembered her!

"I am sorry that I left you behind." Regret was audible in her voice. "There was so much going on and I had thought somebody had picked you up... I can't imagine what you went through..."

Fluttershy's answer surprised Celestia: "If I am being honest? It wasn't that bad."

"Not that bad?!" The Princess was in disbelief. "I have no idea how you even are still yourself! I did a magical check on you to see if you are under the influence of Sombra's magic, but that was negative! But you tell me, that being abducted by the worst tyrant we've known since that abominable draconequs a thousand years ago... was not that bad?

Fluttershy began to tell her story. And it left Celestia speechless. Shy did leave out the raunchier stuff and some bits and pieces she felt were either too private or too unimportant, but, in general, she gave an accurate account of her time. She told Celestia even about Radiant Hope and how she hoped to reign Sombra in.

"I wish that this Radiant Hope had come to me... maybe we could have worked something out." Celestia shook her head. "I knew Princess Amore back in the day... She had a good heart, but often was just too shortsighted. And from what you tell me, if she had taken a more responsible approach with Sombra, all of this might have been avoidable. If he wasn't lashing out at the world like this, I would feel bad for him."

She sighed. But now, it was time to move to the next topic that had peaked her interest. One that lay heavily on Celestia's mind. "You... You talked with Twilight?"

Fluttershy nodded. "Twilight told me what happened. And why. She... she felt underappreciated. As if every mistake was placed on her, every triumph on you. And then, Tempest Shadow... She worked for Sombra when she came to you."

"And I kept her in the background exactly because of how important she was! Because of how much I valued her! I feared that, if a spotline was put on her, she'd put even more pressure on herself and, additionally, would become a prime target for Sombra!" She buried her face in her hands. "And instead I just hurt her, made her vulnerable to a mole..."

"I had great expectations for her. When I had first seen her as a young filly, I could see that she was a very special unicorn... But then, I expected too much of her too soon. I had a dragon's egg I should have given her something easier... She took her education elsewhere, to other renowned branches of academia, and I always kept an eye on her, but... it seems like that episode had had a negative impact on her. Even when I invited her to join my school later, based on her merits, she denied the offer. I did manage to convince after a while, but she wanted it to be in a way that made it clear that she wasn't a 'proper' student of mine... I never figured out why exaclty, but now... maybe it was because she felt like she didn't deserve it while being resentful about the test when she was a filly... I made so many mistakes..."

The bedridden pegasus was in disbelief as she heard Celestia speak. It... It did not fit with what she, what all of Equestria had seen, were seeing, of the Princess! For her whole life, she'd seen Princess Celestia as this beacon of strength, their wise and benevolent ruler, who always knew how to fix a situation, how to steer the right course! And now, she saw a side nopony in Equestria, except maybe for her most trusted companions, knew... One that was plagued by every mistake she had ever made in her long, long life...

These momeants of contemplation were interrupted when another pegasus mare entered the tent! "Princess?" The rainbow-mane before being shushed by a passing nurse. The patients needed calm! To Fluttershy, the new arrival felt... oddly familiar. As if she'd met her before... Coming to a halt next to the princess, she added: "The emmisary from Griffonstone has arrived!"

Celestia snapped out of her bout of insecurity immediately and, with a gentle smile and a curious look in her eyes, turned to the pegasus! "Oh? Already? Thank you, Rainbow Dash."

Rainbow Dash replied to the thanks with a relaxed salute and a cocky grin. "She is an old friend of mine. Her name is Gilda. She came alongside an aid, Gabby I think."

"Excuse me, Fluttershy." The alicorn told her as she rose to her hooves. "I enjoyed our talk, but now, I have to deal with this war again."

As she turned away, Fluttershy knew that she should do something to help her... And she also knew what she could do. "I... I know the castle very well." Celestia and Rainbow Dash looked at her, confused at what she was trying to say. "Maybe... Maybe I could guide an infiltration unit?"

Celestia was speechless at the suggestion! This little pegasus, who now was hiding her face under her blanket after this courageous offers, looked nothing like somepony with the talents or personality necessary for something like this, but, at heart, sh eseemed brave. Maybe more brave than many of her battle tested veterans? Could she deny such a soul's offer?

The other issue was that, just like with Tempest Shadow, this pegasus could be a double agent... She wasn't under a spell, Celestia knew that, and from their little talk, she seemed nothing but earnesty, but the possibility still existed! Celestia's heart, however, told her that this brave little thing was honest. And it would be an unforgiveable insult to deny her. Maybe she shouldn't accompany the group that could be sent out, but her knowledge certainly would be valuable.

"I will think about it." She told Fluttershy. "Do you have any wishes?"

Shy blushed at the mundanity of it: "Could I please get something to eat? I haven't had a real meal in ages!"

"We can arrange that." Celestia smiled. A few minutes later, Fluttershy was brought a hot bowl of filling potato soup and fresh water to drink. She was sated after the fourth serving.

A few days later, Fluttershy was fit enough to leave her bed, and she was allowed to walk the camp. She ahd, in fact, been given a small tent of her own when she left the hospital. It was nice to be able to walk outside again, the fresh air did wonders for the pegasus, and to have the company of other ponies again! To be able to talk to others! She'd always been quiet and introvert, avoiding company of anyone but her animals a lot, but now, after a month, or more, of tracking through the wilderness, having others to talk to was a blessing!

But there also had been a downside. Just a tiny issue regarding to a certain odor in the air. The smell of... stallions. For the last few weeks, Fluttershy had been too busy trying to get to her goal, to survive the journey and all that without being captured by Crystal Empire patrols to really think about it, then, she'd been stuck in a bed to recover. But now... She thought that she could have almost felt her uterus twitch when, during her first tour of the camp, the smell of so many stallions, and quite a few probably quite pent up, had reached her nostrils. It awoke feelings and desires she had thought to have been left behind when she had departed her captivity...

Fluttershy was horny. Very horny. At times, she was thinking about just going into a random tent, tear off the clothes she'd been given and fuck every stallion that hadn't left by three. Luckily, her usual reservedness prevailed. For now.

But right now, there were other things on her mind! This evening, Princess Celestia had summoned her to join a war council this evening, where the possibility, and if agreed upon, part of the details of a raid of Sombra's castle would be discussed. On her way to Celestia's tent, passing behind another tent placed near the outer areas of the camp, Fluttershy passed by some sort of box with two holes, one on either end, about large enough to fit a pony. She had passed that crate a few times, always wondering what its purpose was. She shrugged and continued.

The guards at Celestia's tent let Fluttershy pass and she entered. Around the large desk inside the tent was an array of ponies. Next to Princess Celestia, there were Rainbow Dash, who she still felt like she knew from somewhere, Soarin, an orange pegasus mare and a dark furred pegasus stallion with his light green mane. Alongisde the pegasi were two earth pony mares: A pink one, her mane hanging down over her face, and a gray one who looked... rather disinterested.

Alongside them were two griffons. A brown one and a gray one. Judging by how they stood, and what Fluttershy had overheard a few days prior, the taller brown one probably was Gilda, the smaller, gray one Gabby.

Gilda looked a bit... abrasive, but then, next to Equestria Griffonstone was the nation most under pressure by Sombra's forces. At the same time, she also shared Rainbow Dash's cocky expression. Gabby looked like a pleasant person however.

Celestia backoned her to come over and join them. "Hello Fluttershy. It's good that you're here. Rainbow Dash and Soarin you know already, at least a little, from seeing them, if I am not mistaken?"

"Yes."

"The others with us are Spitfire,-" the Princess pointed at the orange mare, "-Thunderlane,-" the stallion, "Pinkamena Pie and her sister, Maud,-" the pink and the gray mares, and Fluttershy already figured which one of the two was Pinkamena, "-and, finally, the emissaries from Griffonstone, Gilda and Gabby. I have invited them to join this council."

Fluttershy gave a brief recap of what she had experienced to the assembled crowd. Rumours about her had already spread in the camp, due to bits and pieces that had been overheard when she had talked to the Princess. Some, for example, said that she was leading a major insurrection in the capital of the Crystal Empire! It would be better if any of these false expectations would be put away quickly.

Once her tale had ended, Celestia took the word again: "And now that you know the real story, instead of only rumors. Fluttershy offered to put her knowledge of the Crystal Empire at our disposal."

A gasp went through the room. Rainbow Dash had known about it as she had overheard it back then, but Celestia had sworn her to the utmost secrecy. This could be what could decisely turn the tide. "And," Celestia continued, "suggested that this could be used to launch a surprise commando raid on the castle itself, potentially allowing us to assassinate Sombra himself or, at the very least, gain access to valuable informations on his plans, numbers, equipmeant, installations and so on."

Rainbow Dash immediately raised her hand. "Princess! I volunteer for this mission!" Spitfire joined in, and a momeant later, Soarin and Thunderlane did as well.

"I expected as much." The princess smiled. "Fluttershy, please. Tell us everything you know about the capital of the Crystal Empire and the castle."

She did, doing her best to explain the layout as well as she recalled. It was a fairly in-depth description, but also one that made clear that she hadn't explored the it all that that much, didn't have access to detailed maps or anything. Not that it was surprising. But it also made it obvious that she would probably have to accompany the the squad to guide them.

It did, however, allow them to draw up a rough map of the city and castle, and that was a start. "Pinkamena? Maud?" Celestia turned to the two earth ponies, "I have called you to this meeting because I thought that, maybe, we could tunnel into the castle. I would like to hear your opinion on that matter." And, explaining to Fluttershy, she added: "Pinkamena and her sister Maud grew up on a rock farm, and are probably some of the best diggers we have. They can break through huge bolders in seconds, for example. Maud also has a rocktorate and is excellent in estimating the ground for digging."

Pinkamena skipped over to Fluttershy. The pegasus couldn't quite help a feeling that she should know her... And that, despite her face having a generally happy expression, the earth pony looked somewhat deflated. "You can call me 'Pinkie Pie', or just 'Pinkie' for short!" Pinkie offered her hand.

It certainly was shorter than Pinkamena. "Fluttershy." She took the offered hand.

"You know..." Pinkie leaned her head a little to the left as she mustered the pegasus, "It feels like I should know you... Want to be my friend?"

Fluttershy was taken aback by that frank directness! "Uhm... Sure."

"It is nice that you want to be Fluttershy's friend, Pinkamena, but could we please come back to the main business?" Celestia brought her back to the here and now.

"Okie dokie! Sorry for interrupting!"

"It's alright. Nice to see that you want to make Fluttershy feel welcome." The princess turned back to Maud and pointed at the castle drawn onto the rudimeantary map. "What do you think?"

The gray mare answered in a monotone voice. "If what Fluttershy said about the surrounding geography is correct, it should be possible to tunnel into the basemeant of the castle relatively fast."

"Can you give me an estimate?"

"If we can support the tunnel properly, maybe using magic? About three weeks? Four in a worst case scenario? That is only a guess, of course, until I can examine it myself. And assumes we have to start a distance away from the city itself. If we were able to get into the city, maybe an abandoned building, the time needed would diminish accordingly."

Pinkie agreed. She wasn't as well versed in rocks and such as her sister but you didn't grow up on a rock farm without learning a thing or two.

Celestia smiled a little. She hadn't even asked Pinkamena and Maud if they wanted to accompany the group. But for the two, it was self-evident that they'd plan and handle the tunneling! "I can assume then, that you two will also join the strike team?"

"Indeed."

"Of course!"

Rainbow Dash and Spitfire whispered with one another for a few momeants. "Princess Celestia?" Dash turned to her, "We think that we know the other candidates. Fleetfoot, Misty Fly and Blaze for additional mobility and reconaissance. And all of the pegasi are strong enough to carry non-fliers plus luggage, at least for a while, in case we need to flee." Spitfire nodded in agreemeant. The two knew their fliers well, so Celestia trusted their judgmeant. "Additionally: Lyra Heartstrings to provide us with some magical support, and maybe support the digging with it, and Bon Bon. She is one of our best infiltration experts after all."

"Alright. I trust your instincts in that matter." Celestia reaffirmed with a nod. "Tomorrow, you four will call the others and explain everything to them, and hammer it into their skulls that this is of utmost secrecy! I wish I could accompany you all, but I have to stay."

They understood that. Celestia just disappearing would raise red flags, both at home, potentially causing panic, especially with Prince Blueblood, Princess Cadance and Shining Armor being bound elsewhere, and at the enemy, who would most likely suspect foul play.

They spent about an hour more, working through details, cover stories, what supplies would have to be prepared, how they'd train for the mission and so on. In the end, it also was agreed that they'd leave in a months time. Then, finally, Celestia dismissed the meeting, though they didn't leave leave immediately, which she didn't begrudge. This meeting had been a lot to swallow after all.

Rainbow Dash had finished some chit chat with her griffon friends when she walked over to Fluttershy: "Sorry, we haven't had time to talk yet. I am Rainbow Dash,-" She offered her hand and Fluttershy shook it, "-and... Sorry that I ask, but... do I know you? You look familiar..." She knocked a fist against her head, trying to clear the cobwebs. "Maybe... I think we were in a flight camp together? As fillies?"

"Yes!" It came to Flutterhsy! She had known that Rainbow Dash had felt somewhat familiar and now she remembered! "You tried to stop those guys from bullying me!"

"Yes! You are right! Though... that didn't end that well, did it?" She looked a little embarassed, obiously she would have preferred to perform a more stellar rescue.

"You tried, and that is what counts."

"Maybe we can catch up about what happened in the month before we leave?"

"Maybe."

A few minutes later, everyone but Celestia left. Not knowing what to do for now, Fluttershy just kinda followed Soarin and Thunderlane at a little distance. She wasn't intentionally following them, but having nothing better to do just fell in line behind them. They weren't bothered, if they even noticed.

After a few minutes, they were joined by another stallion: Spearhead left a tent and walked up to them.

"Sorry, Spear. It's need to know."

"If it's need to know, then it's need to know." He shrugged, before beginning to talk about other stuff. After some general talk, the newest rumors from the camp and other parts of Equestria, the topic hit rather close to home for Fluttershy: "That Fluttershy is a real hottie, isn't she?"

"A bit scrawny for my taste," Soarin replied, "but then, she's spent a long time on less-than-basic rations. It was lucky that we came across her when she did, considering how exhausted she was. She might've starved there! Maybe she'll put some weight back on!"

"If she wasn't so shy, I think I'd try to hook up with her, at least for a one-night stand." Thunderlane shrugged, his voice giving away hints of his desires. "But I wouldn't want her to run around, screaming her head off because I'm hitting on her. Would be pretty embarassing for both of us."

"Can't argue with either point. I'd love to-..."

Hearing that didn't do Fluttershy's somewhat agitated sexual need any favors. Three studs talking about how attractive she was... The only thing keeping two of them from trying to seduce her was them worrying about her reaction. And, being honest, she couldn't disagree. As needy as she was, she probably would react like that if asked out by ponies that were strangers to her!

She heard a few ideas that Thunderlane and Spearhead had if they'd get to bed her, and they sounded rather tempting. At the same time, however, she knew that she wouldn't be able to ask either of them now, because it might give away that she had overheard them!

"Maybe I'm just pent up again..." Spearhead sighed. "Wanna see if a mare is in the box?"

Soarin laughed! "Spitfire would kill me if I waste a load on some mare behind a glory hole instead of of her! She told me to meet her in a bit!"

"Lucky bastard!" Thunderlane grumbled jokingly. "The only one of us to get a girlfriend in camp, and then it's even his superior officer!" That wasn't exactly allowed by regulations, but as long as it didn't lead to any troubles, or unplanned parenthoods, Celestia was willing to turn a blind eye on any relations in camp, kept the moral up. The dark pegasus turned to Spearhead: "I'll come with you. I need to bust a nut just as much as you do..."

"Have fun, you two! I'll go and meet Spitfire!"

The box? THAT box? The use of it finally dawned on Fluttershy! She had heard of this kind of thing before, when she'd been a bit curious and browsed the internet and, after about five sentences, had closed the browser with a flushed head and buried herself underneath a blanket. IT was a glory hole! A pony would hide inside, unseen by others, and offer sexual services to those interested! This was probably how most here sated their needs!

Fluttershy figured that the spell Radiant had cast on her probably was still active. And even if it wasn't, it was highly likely that whoever had set up this... relief opportunity had placed a spell to that effect on it. Otherwise, there would have been trouble already.

She turned around and did her best to get there before the other two, hoping that nopony had entered it yet! She moved as quietly as she could until she was at a safe distance, then rushed!

To Fluttershy's great relief, the box was empty! She opened the lid and inspected it. Seemed like it could be locked from the inside, which made sense to avoid anypony from taking an unwanted look, but there was an emergency release on the outside as well, probably in case something blocked the internal mechanism. The ground was covered by a blanket and a few pillows that looked reasonably comfortable and clean. They probably got cleaned regularly. She at least hoped so.

Not knowing how much time she had before anypony, especially Thunderlane and Spearhead, arrived, Fluttershy stripped as quickly as possible out of the clothes she'd been given and put her top and pants under the blanket to keep them clean, and luckily she'd been barehoof already, so shoes or boots weren't a problem.

She hurried into the box and closed the lid. Once inside, the pegasus unclasped her bra, enjoying the feeling of her tits being freed, and pulled down her panties. Finishing just in time for her to hear approaching steps, she pressed her ass against the rear hole while trying to catch a glimps of whomever might try the front.

"We're lucky!" That was Thunderlane! "It's not empty!"

"Thank Celestia!" Spearhead's voice came from her rear. This got him thinking... "Huh...You think the Princess ever needs relief like that?"

Thunderlane grunted. "Interesting question... Are you implying that, maybe, Princess Celestia has gotten herself off in that box?"

"Just saying that, if she did, nopony would know!"

Fluttershy saw the pants in front of the hole she was looking through drop to the ground. "I wonder who's inside right now. Maybe it's one of the griffons? That Gabby was kind of cute!" Thunderlane was now rubbing his cock.

"Who knows?" She heard from behind alongside another pair of pants falling down. "But I doubt it. I see a little bit of fur here and, while I can't quite tell the color, I don't think it's gray, or Gilda's brown."

"Sometimes I wish the box didn't have a soundproofing spell on it. Maybe we could guess who's inside by the moans!" The other stallion replied. "But then, it probably would make everything a bit more uncomfortable for a lot of ponies here..."

That soundproofing must have been a one way spell then. Considering that the camp had far more stallions than mares, which was rather rare in Equestria, that also kind off made sense. No need for a two way proofing if the amount of options for the other half is so much larger.

Momeants after that, Fluttershy managed just about to avoid the hard member that Thunderlane thrust through the hole! The smell of cock hit her nostrils and she felt how her pussy went from moist to dripping wet in a heart beat! And Spearhead rubbing his... spear head over it made it even worse. "She is like a waterfall!" He told Thunderlane! "What a needy bitch!"

For a few momeants, Shy just stared at the meat rod in front of her, but Thunderlane was getting impatient! A small movemeant of his hip, and his cock hit her cheek! This caused Fluttershy to snap out of her stupor...

At first, she only gave gentle kisses along the length of the shaft, starting at the hole and working her way down before finally reaching its flared tip. A little bead of pre-cum was forming there already. Fluttershy licked it off. "Mmh~" She heard Thunderlane hum. "Soft lips and a nice tongue!"

Spearhead laughed! "If her lips feel anything like those down here, I'll believe that in a heartbeat!"

"You're rubbing against her pussy?" The pegasus sounded surprised.

"Yeah, lubing up a little, enjoying the feeling... It almost feels like her pussy is trying to clamp down on me before I even put it in!"

"If she's as wet as you say, you shouldn't need any lubing up!"

"True, but as I said: I'm enjoying the feeling. And I'm waiting for her to get started on you properly! I wouldn't want to accidentally push your cock into her eye!"

"How caring of y-..." Thunderlane's half-mocked appreciation was interrupted when he felt her mouth take his length in! "She started! Damn! The slut's hungry!"

Fluttershy had heard everything! And the only thing that had kept Spearhead from stopping to tease her and instead start fucking her had been that she should start sucking of Thunderlane?! She didn't need any further encouraging to finally get to work properly! After all, she'd been drooling to get a taste of Thunderlane already!

One last time she ran her lips down his length and then opened her mouth wide. Almost she would have wished that he could have seen her like this: Her big, blue, innocent eyes pleading, full of lust, her mouth open, hungry... Oh, it was time to dig in!

Her mouth began to take in the pegasus' length. He tasted so good! Fluttershy quickly began to pick up the pace...

Thunderlane moaned in pleasant surprise: "She already started deep-throating me! That might be the best throat in the camp!"

"What a slut..." Spearhead chuckled. "Well, guess I'll get started now too." After a few attempts, his cock lined up correctly and he felt how her pussy parted and let him enter without any hinderances. The stallion let out an impressed whistle! "She is even more wet than I thought! And her pussy is so hot! Damn it! She's clamping down on me already like she's trying to milk me!"

For Fluttershy, it was pure bliss! As pent up as she had felt before, now that she was getting fucked she realized that it had been even worse than she had thought!

It took the edge off of her and would help her stay, well, sane and functioning. But... she wanted more! She wanted to bury her hands in the ass of the stud she was blowing, wanted to feel her fingers dig into his firm ass as she pressed her head against his crotch when she drank his jizz! She wanted to feel Spearhead's hands grab, knead, spank her ass! She wanted to lie on the box, not be inside, as she got used... Maybe they would write nasty things on her fur? "Camp slut"? "Free use"? "Fill me up"? Oh, what had happened to her to think such things...

It was over all too soon for Fluttershy's taste. She didn't realize that they had fucked her for quite a while. First, Thunderlane shot his load down her throat, before slowly pulling out, filling her mouth and then leaving a few splatters on her face. Then, Spearhead filled her pussy to the prim and left a few white streaks on her ass and back.

Spearhead let out a satisfied sight as he rubbed the tip of his cock against the mare's ass to wipe of some more spunk. "Let's swap! I'll get her mouth now, and you..."

"Eh, not in the mood for sloppy seconds tonight."

"You could also fuck her ass." The earth pony suggested.

To Fluttershy's great disappointmeant, the other pegasus again denied: "No. Also not in the mood for that. Maybe because of the briefing. The stuff is kinda stuck in my mind."

"Yeah, I understand that," Spearhead agreed, "When we talked about it in the tent, it was one thing, but the realization of the weight of it all set in only once it was over... But this was a nice distraction from that."

"True." Thunderlane put two fingers through the hole in front of him to brush over the mare's face, hitting some of his cum. Whoever was inside happily licked his fingers clean, however. "If you want her to blow you, sure. But, I think I'm calling it quits now, get a snack and then go to bed."

"Nah, I'm good. You're right, we should go to sleep. Spitfire and Rainbow Dash will probably drum us out of our beds before sunrise for drills anyway. Guess I just wanted to spend a few more moments in blissfull denial!" He let out a hollow laugh.

As she heard them leave, Fluttershy let out a disappointed whine, before scooping up as much of the cum on her as she could and drank it ouf of her hands. That had been what she needed! Her body, burning with need before, had calmed down a lot! But, after a few minutes of basking in the afterglow, an uncomfortable realization hit: They had been good. Very good. But, they didn't compare to... him... And she still wanted more!

Shy stayed for another hours, but only three other ponies showed up. And one of them had wanted to get into the crate herself! The mare ended up eating Fluttershy out, and had the pegasus eat her out, so that had been nice, but it wasn't quite what Shy had wanted.
